NEW UI: Leganto cover thumbnail size in the new UI
Sometimes, Instructors are in trouble when trying to identify the correct citation to manage. It would be helpful if the thumbnails of the books' cover for the instructor view would be bigger.

Questions should not be triggered when items are added from reference management systems
We defined questions that are triggered when a citation is added that has no inventory. Now we have the problem that these questions are always triggered when a user adds items from a reference management system (Mendeley, Zotero, …), even if the library actually owns inventory for these items. This happens because the resource locate process is not initiated when adding items from a reference management system.
The best scenario would of course be that the questions in the “add from reference management system” flow are only triggered when an item is added that meets the criteria. As this scenario…10 votes -
Favourite facets filter
Description:
The ability to quickly select an option of already saved facet filters in Alma Course Reserves for Citations would ensure an efficient way of getting to items that need our attention with one click of a button.Impact:
We use different filters like Citation Status, Tags, Copyright Status, to process any items as we’re preparing lists. Currently there’s no way to quickly select different facets at once and we need to select each facet as a filter one by one which takes time to load and refresh the results each time as well.Expected outcome:

Re-associating courses to reading lists with digitisations
When there is digitisation on a list you cannot easily reassociate it to another string code if needed, the workaround is quite time-consuming involving editing the course in Alma and then doing the usual editing in the DCS.

Multi-site list alerts for print items
We have 7 physical locations 6 of which have print items. We want to set up Leganto to automatically complete physical inventory when added by an instructor as we do not have a "course reserve" workflow or short loan process. In other words, if an instructor adds print to their reading list we are happy that it can be accessed by the students on the open shelves.
However, we are aware that instructors could add physical inventory that is located at one site for a course that is being delivered at another. We do not do inter-site lending even between…

Leganto Analytics storage usage report
This new feature will provide system administrators with environments without Alma D with a detailed analytics report displaying Leganto current storage space usage, available free space, and total storage capacity for their resources. The dashboard will offer a seamless interface for managing and monitoring storage needs, ensuring that administrators can efficiently monitor storage space and predict growth.
This tool will enhance resource management by delivering clear insights into storage utilisation, aiding administrators with proactive management of storage, and preventing overcapacity issues with the Leganto platform.

Add Leganto questions for Favorites
Currently the Leganto question feature is not available for items added from the Favorites to a reading list. It would be a useful enhancement if the appropriate questions would be displayed for items added this way.

Display (both) print holdings of citations that have had their availability merged in Leganto
It is currently possible to merge the availability of citations possessing different availabilities, i.e. print and online, in Leganto but it is not possible to merge the availability of citations where the availability is print and print.
For example - a citation of a regular sized junior fiction title and that of a citation of the "big book" version size of the same title which happens to be on a different catalogue record.3 votes -
More frequent notifications for Library Discussion Notes
Library Discussion Notes are a great way to communicate with faculty about the status of resources cited in reading lists. However, notifications about new notes are only delivered once per day at midnight using the detailed notifications letter. This delays response times. A more frequent schedule for Library Discussion Notes, such as hourly, would be much more efficient and useful for faculty and staff.

Ability to add new metadata fields to Citation Field Mapping table
Currently the citation field mapping configuration table in Alma only allows us to add a row with metadata that is pre-defined in a set drop-down list. We would like to be able to add to this list by creating extra metadata fields to choose from

Add list reminder letter to Analytics
We use the Leganto list reminder letter in advance of each main teaching period to contact Unit Coordinators and ask them to submit their reading lists. We also report on the number of reading lists submitted compared to the number we communicated with. To do this, we manually keep a record of which courses we sent the list reminder letter for and match that to an analytics report. We would like the list reminder letter to be added to Analytics so that we can pull it as a field with other Course Reserves data. For example 'list reminder letter sent'…

Leganto Questions: add an option to configure optional note fields
When adding answers to a Leganto question, it is possible to include a free text field in which additional information can be added. If such a free text field is configured, it becomes automatically mandatory. We have use cases in which we would need an optional note field, so that the instructor can decide if it is necessary to provide more information. Therefore, we would appreciate if a configuration option would be added in the Item Request Answer table which would allow the library to set the free text field optional or mandatory.

Option to associate multiple courses for instructor rollover
Currently, instructors can only associate more than one course to a list after the list has been initially rolled over. To improve this, please add an option to associate multiple courses before the list is rolled over. This is available in the course loader integration for rollovers, so it should be available for instructor rollovers as well. For example, when the ‘Create a new list’ screen appears in Leganto after the instructor chooses the rollover list option, there should be an option to add more than one course: https://app.screencast.com/ESITnAmHSZ5eL This feature should be configurable to accommodate institutions that may not…

Allow HTML in the new UI label 'copyright_clearance_header' (digitisation request form)
The digitisation request form (CLA) has a description field underneath the main header, called 'copyright _ clearance _ header' in the new UI labels. It would be helpful if HTML could be entered in this field to direct users to more information about digitisation services.

Bulk Update for reading list sections
It would be useful if we could run a bulk update job on certain sections - for example if we need to re-name them, add a description, or remove them.
A use case for this is that we have sections on many reading lists naming a certain supplier of eTextbooks, and we would like to change this to just 'Digital Textbook' and be vendor-neutral. This will have to be done manually for 630 lists and it would be much better to do it in one job.
Similarly, now we cannot add section descriptions to templates in the new UI, this…

View lists assigned to me in Leganto
When viewing lists in Leganto, it would be beneficial for library staff to easily see all the lists assigned to them in Alma along with an indicator or filter for lists that are incomplete. Currently, library staff see lists where they are the owner/collaborator, lists they've added to 'My lists' or they can search 'All lists', yet there is no way to know which lists have been assigned to them in Alma (nor which lists require attention). For ease of processing, there should be an option in Leganto for library staff to set the default view of lists assigned to…

New general setting for enabling/disabling multiple lists per course
There's a general Leganto setting for multicourse_lists "Whether to enable multiple courses for reading lists: enabled, disabled."
We would like to add the converse option: enable/disable multi-list courses. By disabling multi-lists per course, only one list could be made for each course via the Leganto interface.
The reason we would like this is to allow instructors to create new lists via Leganto (rather than only by LTI) but not allow them to associate multiple lists per course as this has a negative impact on the embedded LTI view and the way that courses/lists display in the Primo VE full record…

Quick exit from Add items menu
In the classic UI, side-window for adding items is separate to the reading list screen. Side menu can be open and operational simultaneously as the list. It allows users to drag and drop different citations, test links and availability and etc., as they create and work on the reading lists.
In the new UI, the side-window overlays the main reading list screen and reading list becomes not clickable/editable, unless the side-window for adding items is closed.
We would like to suggest adding a feature to quickly exit out of the side pop-up menu by clicking on the left-hand side of…1 vote
